Tony Durham Jr., M.Ed., Resident in Counseling, LMHP-R

Tony Durham Jr. is a Resident in Counseling, a U.S. Army veteran, and a Purple Heart recipient who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and regain a sense of balance in their lives. He earned his Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Virginia State University and provides therapy under clinical supervision while continuing advanced training in behavioral and psychiatric care. His background in military service gives him a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the emotional impact of high-stress life experiences.

Tony has strong clinical interests in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger management, and relationship concerns. He enjoys working with veterans, children, adolescents, men navigating identity and purpose, and couples who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. He also incorporates play therapy techniques when working with children to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and feel safe as they process their experiences in a supportive environment.

His approach to therapy integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered techniques, strength-based interventions, and play-based strategies when appropriate. Tony believes therapy should feel like a safe place to be real, not perfect. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected in your relationship, struggling with past trauma, or looking for support for your child, his goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.
